Manage IMAP message sets: Lists of Email UIDs, ordered and compressed.
Every Email on an IMAP server has a unique id (UID).
When NeoMutt can COPY, FETCH, SEARCH or STORE Emails using these UIDs. To save bandwidth, lists of UIDs can be abbreviated. Ranges are shortened to 'start:end'.
e.g. 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,10 becomes 1:4,6,8:10
